Show Notes
We had a good discussion on today’s episode, prayer life. We asked the community how their prayer life was, and if they were happy with their current level of prayer. Mike shared that we have to develop a habit to pray. We must be mindful of the opportunities God provides for us to pray. 

We shared some of our prayer practices that we do as possible ideas to help our community. Mike said the very first thing he does every morning when he wakes up is to start the day with prayers. It is helpful to get into a routine for prayer. Mike said that he has a specific spot in his home that he goes to each morning to pray. Jay likes to pray while he is out doing his evening walks. He gains inspiration from listening to either Christian or rock music. Mike shared one of his favorite scriptures - Philippians 4: 4-9.
